Ethan caught in his tracks
So we recently got some XMas gifts in the mail from our fam and one of Naomi’s presents was in a gift bag. You know, the type that just has some tissue paper covering it. I was thinking that might be too tempting for the kids to take a sneak peak but I decided not to re-wrap it. I overheard the kids whispering about something and decided to look into the situation. Both kiddo’s denied any wrongdoing and plead innocent. I decided to investigate further. Here’s a transcript of the interrogation.
BJ: “Ethan, did you look at the present inside the gift bag?”
Ethan: “No” (with a face that basically says, “uh-oh”)
BJ: “What color is the box?”
Ethan: “Pink”
Busted.

No, this is not a video blasting retailers that say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”. To be honest, I don’t think making a fuss about that is productive. Anywho, a buddy of mine sent me this video and I think it’s instructive and helpful. Enjoy.

Poor little Sugar Bugger
Last week the under 7 Gold Star’s wore their jerseys for the last time. A memorable season it was. We won one game. We won that game because we lent the other team half our players. I digress. After the season finale all of the players got a trophy for participation. They were completely ramped. Naomi and some other kiddos were running around playing tag. Naomi was carrying her trophy when she collided with another girl and broke her collar bone . The good news: we now know where the children’s hospital is in Louisville and the doctors say that it will heal just fine and very quickly. Praise God for his wisdom in our design. Check out her sling along with her silly faces. She’s loving all the attention.

Quote of the Day
As the semester is racing to a close and Greek continues to take tons of effort my professor’s prayer this morning struck a chord.
Lord, may we remember that it is by persevering that we learn to persevere and if our faith is never tried then it will never be refined like gold in the fire. I pray that these students would accept the responsibilities and challenges and struggles that you’ve placed on them not as happenstance or chance but from your sovereign hand designed to mature them and grow them. I pray that they would persevere but not just by putting their nose to the grind but by trusting in you for strength and grace. – Dr. Brian Vickers

Fall in Kentucky
I know that I’m way behind in posting these pics. I’ve felt completely swamped the past couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy the pics of our first fall in Louisville. It’s absolutely beautiful here.

Taking the Gospel to New England
New England is hard soil for the gospel. Check out this Gallup Poll and see for yourself. Through Southern I’ve come into contact with a church based organization called “NETS” that’s focused on planting gospel-centered churches in the heart of New England. Today, CBS News ran a story about a NETS sponsored church that just planted a few miles from Harvard. Check it out and pray. Take note of the comments section below the article.
